”I could be dreaming but I keep believing you’re the one I’m living forAnd I will always be emotionally yours.It’s like my whole life never happenedWhen I see you, it’s if I never had a thoughtI know this dream, it might be crazyBut it’s the only one I’ve got.”

Like a rolling stone
(från ”Highway 61 Revisited”, 1965)

”You said you’d never compromise With the mystery tramp, and now you realizeHe ain’t selling any alibisAnd as you look into the vacuum of his eyes And say, ”Do you want to make a deal?”How does it feel?”

Workingman’s Blues #2
(från ”Modern Times”, 2006)

”There’s an evening haze settling over town Starlight by the edge of the creek The buying power of the proletariat’s gone down Money’s getting shallow and weak Well, the place I love best is a sweet memory It’s a new path that we trod They say low wages are a reality If we want to compete abroad”

Cross the Green Mountain

”A letter to motherCame todayGunshot wound to the breastIs what it did sayBut he’ll be better soonHe’s in a hospital bedBut he’ll never be betterHe’s already dead”

Not Dark Yet
(från ”Time Out of Mind”, 1997)

”I was born here and I’ll die here against my willI know it looks like I’m movin’ but I’m standin’ stillEvery nerve in my body is so naked and numbI can’t even remember what it was I came here to get away fromDon’t even hear the murmur of a prayerIt’s not dark yet but it’s gettin’ there.”

Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands
(från ”Blonde on blonde”, 1966)

”With your mercury mouth in the missionary times
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes
Oh, who among them do they think could bury you?”

I want you(från ”Blonde on blonde”, 1966)

”The guilty undertaker sighs The lonesome organ grinder cries The silver saxophones say I should refuse you The cracked bells and washed-out horns Blow into my face with scorn But it’s not that way I wasn’t born to lose you
